Docker for the Absolute Beginner - Hands On - DevOps

Mumshad Mannambeth introduces Docker through commands and small practical exercises. Building images with Dockerfiles leads into Compose files and an application stack, with an introduction to Swarm also included. The compact sequence is useful for learners who want to connect an image, a running container and its configuration before combining containers with a larger orchestration platform.

What you will learn

• Run basic Docker commands and inspect containers.
• Build an image from a Dockerfile.
• Describe a multi-container application with Compose.

Who this suits

Basic system-administration skills are required. Access to Linux is helpful but not mandatory under the published prerequisites; review the supplied exercise environment before starting.

Before you enroll

Check current Docker and Compose syntax while following examples. Container exercises can leave images, volumes and running processes behind, so learn how to inspect and clean up the environment as part of the project.

Udemy offers paid purchase or subscription access depending on the course and region. Paid teaching courses provide completion certificates under Udemy’s policy. Check current enrollment terms and any separate software, account or materials costs.

Put it into practice

Package a small application and run it with a separate data volume. Stop and recreate the container, verify what persists and explain which configuration belongs to the image versus the running instance.
